The Year 10 Adventure Education class enjoyed a sensational three day camp at Fortescue Bay on the Tasman Peninsula from Wednesday, 28^th – Friday, 30^th March. 
 The camp assessed students’ planning, preparation and camping skills in accordance with the seven principles of the ‘Leave No Trace’ minimal impact outdoor practices.  

The camp provided students with a variety of learning and challenging experiences, opportunities to lead, follow and work as a team, and time out for reflection.   Students participated in an inter-tidal marine ecology exploration, shorebird habitat investigation, multiple bushwalks and sea kayaking on the waters in and around Fortsescue Bay.   The overall experience required students to demonstrate independence, cooperation and teamwork, resilience and consideration of other people, flora, fauna and surrounding environments.  

Students are commended on the grace, enthusiasm and spirit they reflected throughout the three days, and thanked for making this camp such a positive experience for all involved; including the staff!

Last Wednesday the Year Eight and Nine students participated in Reflection Days.  Catholic teaching is at the centre of all that we do and central to that teaching is the capacity to reflect upon the choices we make and the values which inform those choices.  Providing time for our students to engage in such reflection is not easy, but such is its importance, we feel it is essential that it be included in our calendar each year.  The Year 8 students focused on family and relationships and the theme for the Year 9 students was respect.
